• Secured
• It can be executed by browsers running under many plateforms,
including Linux, Windows, Mac Os etc.
Drawback of Applet
• Plugin is required at client browser to execute applet.
Hierarchy of Applet

As displayed in the above diagram,


Applet class extends Panel. Panel
class extends Container which is the
subclass of Component.
Lifecycle of Java Applet

• Applet is initialized.
• Applet is started.
• Applet is painted.
• Applet is stopped.
• Applet is destroyed.
Lifecycle methods for Applet:

• The java.applet.Applet class 4 life cycle methods and java.awt.Component


class provides 1 life cycle methods for an applet.
java.applet.Applet class
• For creating any applet java.applet.Applet class must be inherited.
• It provides 4 life cycle methods of applet.
✔ public void init(): is used to initialized the Applet. It is invoked only once.
✔ public void start(): is invoked after the init() method or browser is
maximized. It is used to start the Applet.
✔ public void stop(): is used to stop the Applet. It is invoked when Applet is
stop or browser is minimized.
✔ public void destroy(): is used to destroy the Applet. It is invoked only once.
java.awt.Component class

• The Component class provides 1 life cycle method of applet.


• public void paint(Graphics g): is used to paint the Applet. It provides
Graphics class object that can be used for drawing oval, rectangle, arc
etc.
How to run an Applet?

There are two ways to run an applet


• By html file.
• By appletViewer tool (for testing purpose).
Simple example of Applet by html file:

• To execute the applet by First.java


html file, create an applet import java.applet.Applet;
and compile it. After that import java.awt.Graphics;
create an html file and public class First extends Applet
place the applet code in {
html file. Now click the
html file
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.drawString("welcome",150,150);
}

}
myapplet.html

<html>
<body>
<applet code="First.class" width="300" height="30
0">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
To execute the applet by appletviewer tool, write in command prompt:

c:\>javac First.java
c:\>appletviewer First.java
